He turned off the tap before tying his hair into a bun which shows his two small fringes on each side. Hunter looked at his reflection in the mirror, it had a fairly long, yet rounded face, just like he had, teal green eyes, like he had, with tanned skin, like he had and wore a smirk, whereas he did not.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAmXXCucEWA2
"Don't panic," the reflection said with the same husky voice he had, "... Is the messy man-bun necessary?"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAsSa09veYSQ
"Where did you come from?" Hunter whisper shouts
402Please respect copyright.PENANAOQkBQ83JAj
"Ah, I forgot you don't remember."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAn7vwu27DRG
Hunter looked troubled, "Remember what?" He asked confused.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA94px7jgGmx
"You visited my realm the other day right?"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAWquH0bBjFJ
"No," Hunter shakes his head, "I've been in this school since I arrive here!" He claimed
402Please respect copyright.PENANAkHdy5WqtO2
The reflection rolled his eyes, "The place with the dark, endless space."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAsHnY2NCsV4
Hunter stopped for a second, "oh,"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAnoYio6DL7X
"Yes," the man in the mirror said with a small smile, "Back then, you and I made a deal,"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAcltxFIBlGA
"What deal?"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAyH9f3IW8zY
"If I wanted you to know you would have remembered our conversation back then," he stated.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAXLPGTcIuCK
"So you're a demon? I learned about your order yesterday, you make deals with people and take shelter in their minds."
402Please respect copyright.PENANALa1MUUJZf1
"I must say, you're taking this incredibly well," the demon noted,
402Please respect copyright.PENANArozXene0Xr
"What else can I do? What I don't understand is why I would agree to your proposal back then,"
402Please respect copyright.PENANANlojg1eLRu
"All would be revealed with time," the demon stated
402Please respect copyright.PENANAppansC1vdW
"Why do you look like me? Most of the demons I've seen are, no offense, foul looking,"
402Please respect copyright.PENANA818vMnI3ES
The demon nodded, "if you're talking about the things you normally exorcise those aren't demons, they are called darklings. Also, I'm not a pure demon --"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ0DM8WP4B
"A witch then, tampered with chaos or black magic and degenerated into a demon,"
402Please respect copyright.PENANACV9bpsKOPO
"Close but let's go with that. You see, I'm your ancestor and I looked like this when I was your age ... Without the bun, of course, I wore my hair down." The demon explained, "I'm surprised by how much you've learned about mysticism since your arrival here,"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAaI4wRKNEZn
"I've been spending a lot of my time in the library."
402Please respect copyright.PENANA9mezTIrW5j
"I know, I've been inside you all this time remember?"
402Please respect copyright.PENANA0wpAPuwx6F
"Yeah, if what you're saying is right then we made our deal three days ago, why did you choose today to reveal yourself to me?"
402Please respect copyright.PENANABx12XVkCLx
"I've been going through your memories, I needed to learn more about you."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAhRHFguv6xF
"Going through my -- can you not do that?!"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAdIR397kvS4
The demon shrugged, "You should start preparing for class, you don't want to be late."

"Well well well, look who it is ..." A voice from distant taunted
402Please respect copyright.PENANAh78rlXEIx0
"Move out of my way Benson," a crisp, low, feminine voice replied
402Please respect copyright.PENANA9ow4rA6tmT
'Someone's getting bullied,' Hunter thought as he ran over to where he was hearing the voice from.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA0t6fW3NOIN
Two muscular men stood over a shorter girl with a third person between both men, he was taller than them both. He had very defined, heavily muscular and light skin, his eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the girl with nothing but anger and disgust, 'that must be Benson,' Hunter thought.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAzwfn7sTpnL
"You heard the lady, move out of her way," he stated as he walked up behind her.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA9QOJezpys2
"I see how it is," Benson laughs, "you won't always have your slave to protect you," he said before walking away with his friends.
402Please respect copyright.PENANATs3dFSis4K
Once they were out of sight, Hunter turned to look at the girl, it was the same girl that was staring at him on his first day, "thanks," she said with a sight smile, "I would have handled it myself though," she noted.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAqJClaMo9OG
"I don't doubt it."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAJzR5lymHDb
"I'm being serious, Benson is only a beta and the other two are pack warriors, I'm an alpha, I would have taken them out," she stated matter-of-factly.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAkrj4RBmxb8
"Wait, you're an alpha? Aren't you too young?"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAtG0zpOddTu
"It's not about my age, I am the strongest wolf in my pack."
402Please respect copyright.PENANA5oPtSgUNM5
Hunter nods thoughtfully, "but can't you like control him or something? He is your beta."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAHMRD2YYHR8
She shakes her head, "He's from a different pack," she explained
402Please respect copyright.PENANAT3kCsNKJx3
"Then why does he acts that way towards you if the two of you aren't even in the same pack?" Hunter asked
402Please respect copyright.PENANA0jNTl9NGP3
"You'd do the same if you found out I was going to kill everything you are." She replied with a sad smile
402Please respect copyright.PENANA3g4CVPurPs
"Huh?" He said confused
402Please respect copyright.PENANAmOkSv7gIxh
"I am fated to become the most powerful werewolf in the world, kill the moon, plunge the world into darkness and thus destroy every werewolf," she explained.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAZnBCA22opF
"Wow, that's ... Wow," he looked around, "why were you in my class then? You're aren't a sorcerer."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAF7tPit0DP1
She shrugged, "Wanted to learn more about your class."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAP1Lom7Wzhe
Hunter raised an eyebrow, "I'm sorry, I find that hard to believe."
402Please respect copyright.PENANANV7w9eJY5N
"I don't know, I just felt I needed to be in your class back then."
402Please respect copyright.PENANA9p829tgg5E
"Interesting," Hunter noted, "I'm Hunter but I guess you already knew that," he said, extending his hand.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAcyYgzoB1gf
She shakes his hand before speaking, "Sydney." She replied, "We have to hurry to the assembly, we're late."

"As mentioned yesterday," the teacher began, "You will be going on a study tour starting today. You will be divided into a group with four students each. Keep in mind your performance is being monitored. The teams have already been posted on the notice board, find out what team you're on, meet with your teammates, and head for the parking lot, you would be given further instructions there."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAJqwA18KygM
Hunter and Sydney walk to the notice board, his eyes scanning over the board as he searches for his name which he found just below the name Sydney Swan, "Guess we're in the same team," She said
402Please respect copyright.PENANADtjoXKlrjy
"Yes, yes we are." He smiled
402Please respect copyright.PENANAr96LxLVvHK
"Excuse me," another student interjected, he was a pale-skinned young man of average height with neck-length messy brown hair and brown eyes. He wore the school's standard male uniform consisting of a dark green blazer with brown trim that lines the cuffs and collar, he had on a white button-up shirt underneath and a brown tie. As well as a pair of dark green trousers with brown loafers.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAMEUx2JggJS
"Are you Sydney Swan?" He asked.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAkvJ9ujmh3t
"Yes."
402Please respect copyright.PENANApmUs0QygIC
"I'm Martin Clay, your teammate."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAdHYe34D5EP
"It's nice to meet you, Martin," Hunter said.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA9HX2D0Y39q
"You must be Hunter," he observed, "I guess that means there's just one of us left."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAmUBax9YKsv
"Yes," Hunter checked the board, "They go by the name ... Zoe LeClaire,"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAfxyGnQyKPN
"That would be me," A tall slender young woman with short, shaggy black hair parted down the middle said. She had deeply intimidating gray eyes and freckles on her cheeks. Her hair was kept in a low ponytail with a brown tie. She had on a white button-down shirt whose buttons were undone at the top and the sleeves rolled up with a dark green sleeveless sweater over it. She wore a mid-thigh long skirt with frilly stockings.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAH9ivmlNFwl
"Let's get going," She said flatly, already on her way to the parking lot.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAMjmt4WMIKB
...
402Please respect copyright.PENANAHdTHoTNtOA
A while later, they were already in their bus driving through the city, "The Metropolitan city is so beautiful," Hunter gushed.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAm6TNWGR5IC
"You've never been around the city before?" Sydney asked
402Please respect copyright.PENANA7uKyYgVOBN
"No."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAkT3U8y51wo
"Me neither!" She smiled, "I've always dreamt of traveling around the city, maybe the two of us can go on an adventure sometime."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0Uu5epnBz
"Ohh, that would be nice!" Hunter agreed
402Please respect copyright.PENANARqJSMzEZhW
"Need I remind you knuckleheads we are out here for school and not to have fun?" Zoe said,
402Please respect copyright.PENANAMgbbUDgrBn
"That's harsh," Hunter frowned
402Please respect copyright.PENANARhPmRkkigG
"Let's start over," Martin interjected, "With a full introduction," he added. "The name's Martin Clay, I'm 19 and a year 1 student. I belong to the order conjurer of the class sorcerer, I like the color green and I am allergic to nuts."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAVNLThgQFIy
"My turn, my name is Sydney Swan, I'm 18 and also a year 1 student, I belong to the class shifter and order werewolf, I'm a vegan and ... I can't think of anything I hate."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1Xv1pwTSa
"I'm Hunter Heffernan, 18, I belong to the order sprite of the class sorcerer, I like taking pictures and hate apples."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAiLLE7Nqv7T
"Hate apples?" Sydney asked
402Please respect copyright.PENANAKNYrAwYrs8
"Yeah, they are overrated," he stated
402Please respect copyright.PENANA3DJqu331yu
"I don't think so," Martin disagreed
402Please respect copyright.PENANA8rFp3iX4n1
"How can you hate apples?" Sydney inquired, "it's one of the best fruit there is,"
402Please respect copyright.PENANAkwNBbIsUOF
"To each their own I guess."
402Please respect copyright.PENANAhyFDT4GkVl
The trio turn to Zoe waiting for her introduction but when she doesn't say anything, Martin spoke, "Zoe, it's your turn,"
402Please respect copyright.PENANARskvySdzYr
She rolls her eyes, clearly not wanting to participate in whatever it was they were doing but sighed and began to speak, "listen closely cause I'm only going to say this once, I'm a fiend and clearly levels above you three combined. I am neither your friend nor your teammate as I have been placed in your group to be your guiding hand throughout this study tour, I expect you would treat me with nothing but the utmost respect I deserve."
